At all times good feed of grain is beneficial
to stock. but it is especially when flies are

shrinkage of flesh and milk.

The temperature of the cellar may be lowered
by putting tub of broken ice and salt in Tho

be convenient when considerable quantity Of

In spite of the waste co-n-fodder the Ameri-

THE FARM.
A farmers Talk.

Writer IN New England Farmer.
1 met a man few days ago who said he could
not afford to take agricultural paper; that
they were got up TO make money out OF the
farmers, and that he knew more about farming
than the whole of them. And another man SAID
he couldn't waste his time going to farmers
meetings. 1t is such men who waste years in
experimenting and laundering along to find out
way of their own, rather than be told how TO
proceed by some who has been through 1t
all, helped by some suggestion or hint that
shall save both time and labor IN gaining the
end sought for. This is just where our farmers
meetings a benefit to all who attend, for we
can each give exDerence-the lessons that
we have learned, the methods that we employ
and the success or failure attending and by
comparing notes, one with another. we are all
gamers, for each man tell his reighbor
something OF benefit to him, as we'll as learn of
him.
believe the county institutes areone Of the best
means by which we farmers can educate our
selves to higher attainments and greater success.
Our Agricultural Colleges will be of more ben
eft TO US when they follow the lead of one in
the West and provide short course of lect-
ures through the winter season at q nominal
expense, as many ayoung man could be spared
from the farm to attend for short term who
could not think of taking the regular course.
And the less scien tific and bewIldering and the
more common sense and practical such lectures
the better they will serve their purpose.
When any of us find easier way of
doing anything than what we had been accus-
toned to- or has unusual success in any partic-
ular branch of work, 1t is our duty as we'll as
about 1t. that they may also have the benefit.
We often a farmer or gardener who
has great success in his line of business draw
himself in like turtle into it's shell when
asked how he does particular thing,
how he raises good crop of some special
kind and answer in some shallow profound
way that sounds well, but gives no Information.
1t was bad spirit that shown by one of
our prominent market gardeners when having
talked half day at meeting OF the State
board to q large company of farmers, he said to
friend: '"There, 1 have said a good deal to
them, but have not told them much" 1t
would have done no harm to have given less sue
cessful men few points if he could, and might
have helped them. Let US remember that there
is patent on farming, and that we should
help others we'll as ourselves, and when we
good thing, just drop line to our paper
about it that we may all benefit by it.
The president of the New Hampshire State
Agricultural College Society hit the nail on the
head. the other day. when he said that I'VE

patches on the seat of his breaches. for if we de-
pend on him to pull us out of the hole, we shall

out at the knees first is more practical and safer
to trust.
